Product Description

In the world of acoustic/electric basses, a big sound usually equals a big price tag. Until now, that is. Alvarez completely redefines bang for the buck with their AB60CE acoustic bass. With a solid Sitka spruce top and hand-sanded scalloped bracing, this bass finally unleashes that huge low "E" that you've been searching for.

Alvarez's unique bi-level rosewood bridge creates more down pressure on the genuine bone saddle, which allows maximum energy transfer from the string to the top, making this one of the loudest acoustic basses on the planet. The B-Band SYS650 preamp with built-in tuner makes sure you're spot-on. Add select mahogany back & sides, a genuine bone nut, a modern neck profile, and low action right out of the box, and you've got a killer instrument that will really get your creative juices flowing.

Overall:
I'm not a bass player, I'm a 6 string electric and acoustic player. I bought one of these for someone else, and it was totally incredible. It had faster action than some 6 string electrics, and had incredibly awesome tone, unplugged and plugged. I loved playing it, I have never been a fan of playing bass, but will undoubtedly get another one of these someday, for myself...

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

"Alvarez is still the best boom for the buck"

Overall:
I went to the music store, lined up all three acoustic/ electric basses and played each in a row a Fender(599.00), an Alvarez(459.00), a a Boulder Creek(899.00). Unplugged the Fender was loud, good action but buzzed just a bit more than I liked, very fixable. The Alvarez Loud, Good action, very playable, the Boulder Creek Good action, smooth, you need a hearing aide to hear it! I could have bought any of the three. The Alvarez price tag was the smallest. I went home with the Alvarez! I never plugged the Boulder in it could have been one mean mother plugged in but, I need strictly unplugged sorry BC!. I can't give ANY manufacturers support rating.I just bought this. I have no CLUE if they are good bad or indifferent.
